It&#39;s called Do You Like Bubbles? If you click on it and scroll down, you can see a shot of the square version of these glass sidewalk tiles, out in front of POP Champagne &amp; Dessert Bar on Union.<br /><br />And don&#39;t forget, we are people of the dessert, if not people of the champagne, so really you ought to check it out. That block of Union between Fair Oaks and Raymond really ought to be the subject of a PDP photo essay pretty soon.<br /><br />Eamon, based on the link Loren sent I&#39;m going to say 19th century, but don&#39;t limit me to that.<br /><br />Terry, do you know why 1929? Were streets widened then for paving?<br /><br />Margaret--Katie is a mosaic fanatic.

Some of the buildings kept the original basements extending into the new sidewalks, so the sidewalk lights were a great way to let light filter below.Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642027349023441366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-82985466723091343562009-07-10T07:15:55.865-07:002009-07-10T07:15:55.865-07:00Fabulous!
